Bike captain plus combat squaded bike sqaud in the thunderhawk (if attack bikes are only very bulky still)

Scouts split up and try to hide out of los until the thunderhawk comes in.

Spend the rest of the game trying to contest or take objective until turn 4, thunderhawk then sets up between two objects.

Turn 5 the thunderhawk hovers so that the combat sqaud bikes can take/contest two objectives.

You need to turn those stormtalons into cheap tanks or something. Doesn't matter as they are just there to die untill the thunderhawk comes in. Preds with lascannons for 100 would threaten a superheavy to want to kill them first so there ya go.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/568107/6340266.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/568107/6340266.page GMT Space Marine MSU Escalation list. 1750pts http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/568107/6340409.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/568107/6340409.page GMT Space Marine MSU Escalation list. 1750pts IG can also pay 30pts for an OotF to give you another +1. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/568107/6340655.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/568107/6340655.page GMT Space Marine MSU Escalation list. 1750pts ADL with comms...
Quick question though. Why would you spend so many points on a bike squad if you are only going to use them on turn 5 to capture objectives? Why not just spend 110pts on 10 scouts that can be combat squaded to do the same job? If you are placing objectives you can make sure they are close enough together so the scouts can reach them. It just seems like a huge waste of 333pts (about 1/5 of your total) if you don't want to even put them down until turn 5!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/568107/6340679.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/568107/6340679.page GMT
